Bivacco Boerio, Bivouac hut in Bellino, Italy.

Located at 3089 meters altitude in the Western Alps, Bivacco Boerio stands above the southern shore of Lake Mongioia with an octagonal structure.

The shelter, inaugurated in 1992, bears the name of Franco Boerio, a member of the Varaita Valley mountain rescue team.

The mountain shelter represents the Italian alpine tradition of providing safe refuge points for mountaineers traversing high-altitude routes in the Cottian Alps.

The facility contains 10 beds, including 8 fixed bunks around a central support and 2 wall-mounted folding beds, plus a table and benches.

A solar-powered timing system controls the lighting inside the shelter, while water supplies come directly from the adjacent Lake Mongioia.
